He's a real hoot to talk to. Tip: If you ever get to speak to him in realtime, say hello, then put your seatbelt on. Or just lay down on the floor so you don't waste time falling out of your chair. It also hurts less that way. As well, I recommend facial exercises a day or two in advance, so as to minimize the risk of cramping from prolonged ass-off laughing. - bride

I cannot help but smile every time I think of him. Wit sharper than any dagger, he is a dangerous character. He has a unique ability to delve inside a person and discover who they are from the inside. Our only safety is that he is kind, and conscientious with other people, and cares for the happiness of his friends. - kiad

I am: vegetarian/libertarian/extropian/ENTP. Graduate of the University of California, San Diego, where I spent six years earning vocationally worthless degrees in physics and economics while trying to avoid the inevitable confrontation with reality that awaited me upon graduation.

Some say I'm still trying to avoid it.

And by "some" I mean my mom and dad.

Asian parents. What can you do?

The hunter kills the wolf only in the stories that humans tell. Beasts have their own tales to weave. We are not men, disguised as mere dogs. We are wolves, disguised as men.

Thereafter he walked very carefully, with his eyes on the road, and when he saw a tiny ant toiling by, he would step over it, so as not to harm it. The Tin Woodman knew very well he had no heart, and therefore he took great care never to be cruel or unkind to anything.

"You people with hearts," he said, "have something to guide you, and need never do wrong; but I have no heart, and so I must be very careful. When Oz gives me a heart, of course, I needn't mind so much."
